Hpr n. Section

[newyork1]

Alright so hpr on track days, not just that 1 Monday closes the north section of the track and still charges the 150. WTF. I'm riding on July 6th and that part will be closed. It sais it on the schedule in fine print. What's the deal with that bullshit

[cromer611]

lol.

HPR is still fun as hell even with the new section. get alot more speed into the corkscrew with this config.

Glen is the boss and I dont blame him for trying something different with HPR. I would do the same. As far as price, your gonna have to talk to him yerself.

What's the big deal? You still have lot of other turns to crash in

You pay for the whole track, you get to ride the whole track.
If the MRA wants to race different configs, have at it, but if I pay to do a track day I want the whole fucking track. Quit sucking Glen's cock people, it won't get you far.

You are correct.

Anyone can call Glenn up and pay for the whole track for the day - then they get to pick whatever configuration they prefer. They'll also get to choose who else they let on the track when they rent it out for the day.

I enjoy the different configurations and look at each one as a new challenge. It's like having 4 tracks in one. I'd love to see him run the north course at some point.

A good rotation of configurations, and clear indication on the schedule of which course is being used would be a nice touch.

As for the price, you aren't paying per mile of track. You can put in just as much time and just as many miles riding around the 2.55-mile full course as the 2.00-mile west course as the 1.83-mile north course as the 1.28-mile short course. The only difference is how many times you go around and the configuration of the corners.

Your new, you'll figure it out.

[hcr25]

I have never heard of a track that has several different track layouts charging less because of the length of the track. Im not saying one isnt out there but i doubt if they would do it this way.

If you think about it, how is this any different then a track day company charging say $100 for a full day and $65 for a half day. You are only riding half the time. Why not half the price? Its because that is how they want to run their business.

Let your $$$ talk for you, if you dont like it dont go. If enough poeple feel the same way these companies will have to change to survive.

I think the prices are fair. The track still has to pay for the insurance and staff. Those cost dont go down because the track is a half mile shorter.

Exactly Mike, I was considering the open Lapping day the Sunday before last, but as soon as I found out the track was shortened I decided against it. I won't drop my $ there until I get all the corners. Track days are rare and highly prized in these times, and I want the most for my $. Shortening the length is one thing (because you just make more laps in the same time frame), but eliminating turns is what is frustrating. One of the best parts of HPR is the number of turns.

[nwatkins]

Mike, I am all for the change. I agree the cost do not go down, besides corner works, for a shorter track. I am looking forward to racing on the different configuration.

But...

You did make a comparison to Miller. And running there is a large price difference on the configurations there. The East and West Course are about 8 thousand a day to rent and the full course is 16 thousand a day. I know it is apples and oranges and two different events can be run. But that comparison was made...

But besides that people the new configuration will be a good time, you will just put in some more laps not get any less riding time. But the fact is this is a capitalist society, for the time being, so vote with your wallets.

[newyork1]

I understand what everybody is saying but to say that it is fun riding a new configuration is stupid because its half the track. Your not riding the whole track and your paying full price. WEAK

[hcr25]

Neil, I have only raced at Miller. Do you know if you do a track day there if the price is different from the full course to the east or west course?

Apex does charge more for the full course - but they also have higher costs to cover when they run that configuration.

Ok its like going to Elitches say the one ride you wanted to ride was closed and because of that they should have charged you less. 1 not gonna happen 2 you still go and ride other rides.

Like others have said if you don't like it don't go.

mike

yes it is. http://apextrackdays.com/schedule/

[nwatkins]

Miller is apples to oranges though. Miller has the ability to run seperate events IE east/west at the same time. That is why track daily rental is half for east or west versus whole track.

HPR can't run two events at the same time, no matter the configeration.

That is why there is a cost difference there.

[hcr25]

yes it is. http://apextrackdays.com/schedule/

Does miller do their own track days ?

[racedk6]

I dont think complaining about it on any forum is gonna make a difference.

Mike posted the contact info for Glenn on here if there are any complaints just shoot him an email.

Everybody is gonna have opinions, and yet there is no opinion that is gonna make you think it is fair or vice versa. So there is really no point to this conversation.

I dont bitch about the cost or the new config. I personally am not the biggest fan of the new config. but I dont hate it. Either way you are still riding and having fun. If you think it costs too much then dont ride it.
